Miwa Nagato-Apthorp

Today, Andy Reilly chats to To Miwa Nagato-Apthorp. Based in the Scottish Borders, Miwa’s songwriting draws on folk traditions to explore multicultural understandings of history, climate, womanhood, and home. This chat was recorded in mid April so some of the gigs mentioned are now in the past, though Miwa can be found playing at this year’s Knockengorroch, Kelburn Garden Party, and a special Co-Bill with Lainey Dempsey – at Glad Radio’s ‘Thrown In Sessions’ at The Deep End, in the southside of Glasgow They talk about Miwa recently supporting Eddi Reader, going from playing venues like The Glad Cafe to bigger spaces like the Royal Concert Hall, making each gig feel like a community get together, the joy of collaboration, and the mysterious process of songwriting. Miwa also talks about connecting with different parts of her one whole identity created through place and heritage (Miwa has lived in Scotland for 20 years, was born in London, and has Japanese heritage), and honoring stories by giving them a place in her songs.  If you like these chats and you’d like to support the show, the single very best thing you can do is share it with a friend.

Carla J Easton
